Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. The start of which is celebrated by Mardi GrasÂ or Fat Tuesday, giving everyone the opportunity to over indulge in whatever it is they may be giving up for the next 40 days and 40 nights. Poker players tend to overindulge in a lot of things, given the fact that they live on a different schedule than most people and are used to having anything they want at any given time. I asked a few poker players what it was they would give up for 40 days if they had to choose.

Liv Boeree said if she had to choose sheâd give up porn. I find this hard to believe, Liv's porn addiction stretches all the way back to her childhood, so I will have to take the under on this.

David âThe Mavenâ Chicotsky would give up facebook. Again Iâll take the under. I give him 18 hours before he has to update his status and tell us about his chip counts and sushi dinner.

I had to give up sex with Melissa Castello. The last time I went to her place, a dominatrix came out of there screaming. She claimed that Melissa was "too freaky for her."

First, I have decided to give up unprotected sex. I think that is crucial to my desire to not get anymore STD's, or STI's or whatever the fuck it is the fucking political correct police are calling it these days. Can't get aids twice.

Second, I have decided to give up illicit street drugs. This one has been a struggle, but they have me on methadone, which has really taken the edge off. And as any drug user knows, taking the edge off is what its all about. Sometimes its hard, but when I am not vomiting and convulsing on the bathroom floor, I can see the future. A life without drugs. Or at least 30 some odd more days.

Third, I have given up cross dressing. This one has been the toughest for me. The urge I feel in the deepest pits of my soul every time I walk by my moms closet to go in there and put on her jumpers and shoulder pads, is second to none. The way satin panties feel against your skin...Oops, back to topic. I am getting a bit carried away. However, I hope, that with some intense psychotherapy that I may, one day, be able to dress like a man. All the time.

I decided to give up unprotected sex with randoms. First and foremost, I feel that is counter-intuitive to my desire to not get anymore STI's (I still cant get over the technical name being STI as oppose to STD's, some politically correct bullshit IMO).

Second, I have decided to give up all illicit street drugs. It has been a struggle, but kicking the heroin really makes me feel better about myself...at least while I am on the methadone and am not vomiting and convulsing in a ball on the bathroom floor.

Third, Cross dressing. This one has been the hardest. You don't know how hard it is for me every time I walk by my mothers closet not to sneak in there and put on her jumpers and shoulder pads. The feeling of woman's clothing against your flesh...if you don't know, your missing out.
